After 4 years of carrying a .40 cal. as a carry weapon and before that 9mm and .45 I say yes the .40 is the best all around carry weapon. Why, because it has good penatration, good energy dispersment, and makes a good size hole and you don't have to look for or load hot +p+ to get good performance. what you buy off the shelf works great right out of the box. as far as guns chambered in .40, some are easy to shoot and handle and some are brutal just to hang on to when you do shoot them. not every brand or cal. is going to work for everyone, I was lucky I got a sig 229.40cal. and put houge grips on it and it has been one of the best guns i have ever shoot. my backup to it is a S&W 457 .45 compact that is also easy to shoot. good luck
